年度新聞?What's new this year?
芝加哥百週年國際年會將從2005年6月18日星期六開始，比平常提前一天提供早晨的國際扶輪遊行與晚上的家庭接待。國際年會註冊與訂購國際扶輪入場卷合併表格將使你容易去規劃你的國際年會之旅。
The Chicago Centennial Convention will begin on Saturday, 18 June 2005, one day earlier than usual, to accommodate the Rotary International Parade in the morning and Host Hospitality in the evening. Combined Convention Registration and RI Ticket Order forms will make it easy for you to plan your convention itinerary.
為了提供更好的顧客服務和管理預計膳宿的需求，現在可下載旅館預定表以及團體訂房需求表格。你也可以在線上註冊。
To provide better customer service and to handle the projected demand for accommodations, the Hotel Reservation Form and the Group Block Housing Request Form are now available to download. You may also register online.
我們鼓勵你及早提交表格以免不必要的耽擱並確保有旅館。依註冊和訂房部門的經驗，於開始和截止日期周圍會非常忙碌，於那些時段會需更冗長的反覆檢查和聯繫上的耽擱。
We encourage you to submit forms early to avoid unnecessary delays and to ensure hotel availability. The Registration and Housing Department experiences high volumes of activity upon opening and on and around deadline dates, so there may be lengthier turnaround times and communication delays during those periods.
